Amanita muscaria fly agaric mushroom on forest grass, red cap with white spots, wild European specimen
May 28, 2026
Why would someone take this mushroom as a supplement? Well there may be a few reasons.When we allow ourselves time to set aside with a microdose of Amanita muscaria tincture, or some dried mushroom in tea form, and we say "This is my time to rest and restore" we are already saying to our body that it is safe. Then the muscimol activates the GABA and we can really take a moment to reflect on some things in the past that have traumatized us before.  If we are in a safe place in life now, then we can begin to rewrite those neural pathways in the brain to not have the trauma response so activated each time a stimulus occurs.We can step off the timeline of being damaged, and no longer be a traumatized person.

🌲Winter Wisdom, 🎁Giveaways & 🍄Pantherina Restocked
December 29, 2025
This past weekend I had some anxieties I couldn't put a finger on. Maria gave me a quest: find a hemlock tree that was both wise and humble, sit with my back against it, and ask for its wisdom. What came to me changed my perspective on facing winter.
